2. Lesson Goals, Outcomes, Objectives: Describe what you expect students to be able to
do, to achieve, including:
2.1 Instructional Objectives: The students will be able to represent and solve Add To and Take From word problems
(Cognitive, Medium).
2.2 Relevant local district/state/common core standard(s) - (ksde.org)
Common Core 2nd grade Operations & Algebraic Thinking
CC.2.OA.1 Represent and Solve Problems Involving Addition and Subtraction
o Using addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step problems
involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and
comparing with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with
a symbol for the unknown number to represent a problem.
CC.2.OA.2 Add and Subtract within 20
o Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental stages. By the end of 2 nd grade,
know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.
Mathematical Practice:
CC.K-12.MP.1 - Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
CC.K-12.MP.5 - Use Appropriate tools strategically.
3. Assessment: How and when will you determine the extent to which students have
achieved the lesson objectives?
At the end of my lesson, I will pass out an exit ticket problem. On this colored piece of paper there
will be an add to or take from work problem. I will have 3 different problems that will be distributed
evenly amongst the class. These will be of average difficultly and there will be a bonus problem for
those that find the problem too easy.
I know students have mastered the solving of add to and take from word problems when they have
shown their process of how they got their answer on their exit ticket and got their answer correct.
4. Adaptations:

4.1Gearing down (provide more or differentiated support) to meet the needs of struggling
students with the lesson might include:
Students who are struggling will be allowed to receive peer tutoring once they have
sufficiently tried on their own to solve the problem.
4.2Gearing up (provide more extension) to meet the needs of higher achieving students who
may need challenges might include:
Student who are in need of a challenge will be asked to then write their own problem from a
given equation. For example: Write a word problem that matches the equation 6 + = 13.
Student will need to use the correct vocabulary that matches the addition or subtraction that
will be involved. (Per the district approved curriculum book)
5. Integration: place (e.g. across: reading with social studies, art with writing; within: comprehension and
vocabulary, multiplication with number theory, forces in motion with inquiry).

Across: Reading in integrated with math when they have to read their word problems and pull out
key words that indicate how they will solve their equation.
Within: Vocabulary is integrated with Add to and Take from word problems when they have to
choose key words within the problems. Key word choice is important so that they know what kind of
problem they are solving addition or subtraction.

Instructional Design Teaching Plan

7.1 Introduction Briefly describe the things you will do to get the lesson off to an engaging
start:

a. Anticipatory Set
I will bring a toy car to class that day and place it on the board with a price listed above it,
example $1.00. I will show the students that I have a 5 dollar bill. Do I have enough money
to buy this car? Every day we use words to describe what we are doing when it comes to
numbers. Usually we are thinking it in our head or even speaking it but we can also write it
down in words.

b. Communication of Objectives:
We are going to keep moving on in our math book about adding and subtracting numbers
but today we are going to be adding in words within our problems. We will be learning how
to create and solve equations from a word problem.

*7.2. Input
I plan on doing a brief review of what key words they will need to be searching for within our
word problems. I will start by creating a chart on the board with all the words they might see
in addition word problems and then move on to the words they will see in subtraction
problems. I will give the students an opportunity to come up with the words on their once,
since this is a review of their 1st grade math materials and then finish up by providing the
missing words.

*7.3 Modeling
Students will come sit on the floor in front of the whiteboard. I will write a word problem on
the board:
The school has 5 computers in the library. They buy some more computers. Now
there are 12. How many computers does the school buy?

Frist I will circle in another color the key words in the problem: Some more.
Then I will draw I will draw a math mountain equation. As you know, the largest
number goes on the top of the mountain and that leaves the other number, 5 to be
placed on the bottom.
Now I will talk about the key words we circled from the problem and we will talk about
why those particular words mean addition rather than subtraction. When we buy
MORE computers, we know that we will be adding to the computers that we already
have in the library.
Then we will add the plus sign between the two bottom boxes on our math
mountain and the equal sign below the large number on the top.
Then I will use our counting up method to find out the answer. *I will put my closed
fist to my forehead and tell the students I am visualizing the number 5 in my head.
Then I will count up from 5 using my fingers until I get to 12.
That is when I know the answer to the equation.* I will then write on the board the
completed equation for the problem - 5 + 7 = 12 and I will write the equation another
way using the turn-around method 7 + 5 = 12.

*7.4 Guided Practice

After I have modeled for the students how to go about solving and representing a word
problem, as a class we will work on the next problem (which is a subtraction problem).
Alice has 17 beads. She uses 9 of them to make a bracelet. How many beads does
she have left?
On the Elmo I will show my workbook and we will work cooperatively to solve this equation.
(I will pull out the unifix cubes for students who want to use them as a visual)
First I will ask the students What are the key words in this question? As we talk
about each one I will ask students to please circle them in their workbook. We will
then discuss whether this is an addition or subtraction problem.
o Answers should be: Uses and left
We will then draw out our math mountain. What number goes into the top of the
mountain? 17 and where does the 9 go? bottom.
I will ask students how we are going to solve this problem. *Draw a picture* I will ask
a student to come up to the board and draw the total number of beads for the class.
Then I will have another student come up and show that Alice used 9 beads to make
a bracelet.

Then as a class we will count how many beads Alice has left in her collection.

After this problem, I will use the same steps as above to solve the last problem on the
worksheet:
Erin wraps 6 party favors. She needs to wrap 15 favors in all. How many favors does
she still need to wrap?

*7.5 Checks for Understanding

As we are doing the guided practice section, I will be calling students up to the board to do
the process for solving a word problem.
For example:
Students will come up to place the numbers in the correct place on
Math Mountain.
Students will tell me what key words to circle.
Students will come up to the board and draw out the equations, i.e.
draw birthday presents or beads.
Students will come up and write the resulting equation on the board
and then also be able to write another equation or the turn-around of
the original equation.
If students are unable to do any of these checks, I will allow them to call a friend for
assistance. If several students are unable to do a certain part of the process, I know I will
need to go back and re-teach that section.

7.6 Independent Practice/Assignment

Students will have an exit ticket before we go to morning recess. There will be 2 different
versions of problems. Each piece of paper will have 2 problems on them, an addition word
problem and a subtraction word problem. Students who are high achievers have the
opportunity to solve a BONUS problem that will be printed on the bottom of that paper.
Version 1:
i. There are 16 children at the playground. Some children go home. How there are 7
children at the playground. How many children went home?
ii. Lila has 6 stamps. Sam gives her some more stamps. Now Lila 14 stamps. How many
stamps does Sam give Lila?
Version 2:
i.
There are 5 deer in the forest. 6 more deer enter the forest. How many deer are in
the forest now?
ii.
Marshall has 10 fire hats. Sky asks to have 4 of them. How many fire hats does
Marshall have left?
Bonus:
i.
Julie has three more apples then Lucy. Lucy has two apples. How many apples does
Julie have?

7.7. Closure, wrap-up

I will put students into partners and together they will discuss the process of solving a word
math problem. We will spend about 3 minutes discussing and come back as a group and
decide on the process as a whole.

Note: Edit your plan for correct spelling and grammar. Your plan must be clear, concise, complete
and logically sequenced.
You need to be able to quickly glance at your plan while teaching (use brief bullet points and white
space). Continue editing until all details are included and you are confident your instructor, a
classmate or substitute teacher could teach your lesson based on your written plan.
